The Valerie Objects Breakfast Bar Stool is an intriguing fusion of geometric precision and vibrant materiality, born from a collaboration between design duo Muller Van Severen and the world-renowned architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). Originally developed for the lounge bar at BIG’s headquarters, this stool evolves the iconic visual language of the Aluminium Chair into a versatile, high-seated silhouette. Crafted from powder-coated aluminium and finished with a high-gloss lacquered seat, it represents Muller Van Severen's unique philosophy where colour is treated as a primary design material rather than a mere decorative finish. Designed for both indoor and outdoor utility, the Valerie Objects Breakfast Bar Stool is lightweight yet exceptionally durable. Its raw aluminium structure is protected with beeswax and a UV-resistant lacquer, ensuring the vibrant surface remains shielded from sun, rain, and wind. With its compact 35cm x 35cm footprint and a seat height of 65cm, it is perfectly proportioned for kitchen islands and breakfast bars. Its formal sobriety allows it to function not just as a seat, but as a small, sturdy side table, making it a highly practical addition to a modern home or terrace. Available in a palette of ivory, green, pink, and raw aluminium, the stool encourages a playful "mix and match" approach to interior styling. This balance between architectural rigour and chromatic intensity is a hallmark of Muller Van Severen’s work, which is held in prestigious institutions like the Vitra Design Museum and Centre Pompidou. Whether used as a single expressive piece or as part of a larger ensemble, the Valerie Objects Breakfast Bar Stool offers a sophisticated aesthetic experience that bridges the gap between furniture and functional art.
